on the Vikings season. The weather has made a mess of several NFL venues this week. How did your team fare in the blizzard?

This is what happened inside the Metrodome...

    Another remarkable occurrence to likely allow Favre to continue his streak.

    Wow how easily could that have happened during a game. Could have potential been a panic disaster. Very fortunate!

    The collapse (of the dome, not the team) will be the excuse the owner gives for moving the team out of Minnesota.

    I hope not. I would rather hope that this gives some credibility to the efforts to build a new venue for them. The Arden Hills complex is a very attractive option that deserves a closer look.

    Owners usually throw the threat out there to gather support for tax payer money to go into a new stadium. Let him go I say,and let Minnesota start another team.

    The Metrodome can be rebuilt,as to the 'Vikes, lose Farve and get on with it! If his **** was a little bigger, might have saved the roof :tongue:

    Does anyone remember the KC Chiefs game in the early 90's when they had 6inches of rain in one hour? the water was shooting down the stands to the field, you couldn't see the ball being passed in the air on TV it was comming down so hard, they called that game off.

    Yeah, I remember that one... I think the Vikings, being unable to provide a venue to play the game, should have been forced to forfit the game.

    You folks up in Minnesota should be checking out your local Craigslist postings for deals on Public Address systems and other deals.

    I wish Soldier Field had a roof, and that it had collapsed yesterday before kickoff.

    I believe the chiefs were playing the Seahawks that day

    Comparing the superdome after Katrina to this is a little far
    Fetched imo
